This was a really enjoyable trail half marathon. Beautiful scenery, a really good location. Great support and organisation as well. I would certainly consider running this again.

Very tough run. Was my first half marathon and first trail run. So I did underestimate the terrain but still did it in my goal time of two hours. Had to dig really deep. But them again, that's what I was there for. To get in the suffer, in the pain zone. Asking myself questions. And it's certainly did that. I know more about myself now for doing it and I've got the medal to remember it by. Thank you tram for running the event

Thank you for such an inspiring review, and congratulations on completing your first half marathon and your first trail race!

Well organised and easy to register, I was surprised at the small field but nil issue. I must admit I didn’t expect it to be so hilly and was pleased to finish it. The post run entertainment was excellent and car parking excellent.

First time I have done this run and it was part of my club's race series for 2026 (Sleaford Striders). We all enjoyed it but it is a tough run. Was very well organised and went smoothly. I had a little tumble with a few grazes but to be expected on courses like this from time to time. The first aid team at the end of the race were spot on so big thanks to them. Overall a very good event.

I ran my first 10k race today. It was very well organised and the people were brilliant and helpful. The course was tough and had alot of hills. But this added to the challenge and made the PB extra special!

I really enjoyed the 10k run. Extreamly well organised. I had a great time and was well impressed by the organisation on the day 10/10. Only thing that could be improved is that for a 62 year old there was too much imformation online that it confused me. A standard email would have done the trick. Also just need a sign for cars which way to turn at cross roads where there is a large fee paying car park. Only minor points. Well done !!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the 10K and that you found the event so well organised – a 10/10 is wonderful to hear! We also really appreciate your constructive feedback. We'll certainly take another look at how we present pre-race information to make it simpler and easier to follow, and we'll review the signage for the car park entrance to see how we can make that clearer. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, and we hope to welcome you back to another event soon!
